Happy International Men’s Day 2024!Today, we’re celebrating **Positive Male Role Models** . From fathers, brothers, teachers, coaches, and mentors to friends and colleagues, male role models inspire us to be compassionate, resilient, and supportive.Role models aren't just public figures – they're everyday heroes who lead by example and shape the lives of those around them. Whether it's showing kindness, standing up for others, or encouraging positive mental health, Ireland is filled with men making a difference in big and small ways.Why Role Models Matter:Positive male role models play a key part in building healthier relationships, nurturing self-confidence, and fostering strong, inclusive communities. They help younger generations understand the value of respect, empathy, and personal growth.This International Men’s Day, let’s take a moment to thank the men in our lives who inspire us. Tag a male role model who has made a difference in your life, or share a story about someone who has helped you become the person you are today. Let’s celebrate all the men making Ireland a better place! 💙#InternationalMensDay #PositiveMaleRoleModels #ThankYou ... See MoreSee Less

🌍 Today is International Men's Day 🌍Let's take a moment to highlight Men's Mental Health in Ireland. While men's mental health has been a topic gaining attention, it’s essential to keep raising awareness and breaking down stigma. In Ireland, nearly 1 in 3 men struggle with mental health issues, yet many don’t seek the help they need. Remember, it's okay to reach out, talk, and ask for support. You’re not alone.Key Facts:- Men are almost 4 times more likely to die by suicide than women in Ireland.- Over half of Irish men say they’ve experienced mental health challenges but many feel pressured to "stay strong."- Young men (aged 18-24) are especially vulnerable, facing both mental health and financial challenges in recent years.Resources Available:- Samaritans Ireland – Free 24/7 support for anyone in distress. Call 116 123.- Pieta House – Free therapeutic support for individuals in crisis or at risk of suicide. [www.pieta.ie](www.pieta.ie)- Men’s Sheds – Community spaces supporting men’s mental health and well-being through social activities. Learn more at [menssheds.ie](menssheds.ie)-Our own Community Shed and Garden in Geevagh- Aware Ireland – Offers support, education, and information for those affected by depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. ️ Free helpline at 1800 80 48 48.Let's stand together and support the mental health of the men in our lives.

CLASP Community Shed Geevagh has undergone a renaissance in the last few years with new people bringing energy and ideas to the concept an vision of what a Community Shed should be . The Shed has become an important welcome hub for people who have moved to the area in recent years. The Community Shed comes under the umbrella of CLASP and we are hugely grateful for their support which enables us to bring some great workshops and classes to the community. The Community Shed operates on a membership basis, membership is currently €10 per calendar year (Jan to Dec). Our popular fortnightly Meet and Make takes place on Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings.
